OBITUARY.

David Funkhouser, whose serious
illness has already been noted in these
columns. passed away peacefully and
quietly at eleven o'clock, Monday
night, May is, at the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. w. A. Scott. The de-
ceased has been subject to heart disease
for many years, and it was this that
finally caused his death, in the 18th
year of his age. The funeral services
were held at the residence on Tuesday
evening at five O'Clock, Rev. w. H.
Hyatt, officiating, and were well at
tended.
Mr.. Funkhouser was born and raised
in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia.
He afterwards moved to Rockville,
Ind, and in 1867 moved to Kansas,
locating on what is now the County
Poor Farm in Carlyle township. In
1874 he went to Oregon, returning to
lola six years later, where he has
since resided. The writer Of this has
been personally acquainted with him
ever since he came to Kansas, twenty
years ago, and in all that time we have
heard no word against his character
and have known no act of his that
would not bear the closest scrutiny. He
was q good citizen,a con eistent Christ
ian and modest, upright gentleman.
His mind was clear up to the last
moment. For six weeks past he has
known that the end must soon come;
he made no complaint. He had no
regrets for the past and he looked with
hope and gladness to the future. Death
was to him only the friend whose COM
ing he longed for, who would close the
tired eyes, still the painful throbbings
of the worn out heart, take him by the
hand and lead him gently over the
river, into peace and rest and joy that
should endure forevermore.
The deceased leaves five children,

the CARRIAGE WORKS WELL.
A Strong Flow of Gas Found at a
Depth of 100 Feet.

When it was proposed to bore well
for gas on the Carriage Works grounds
every one supposed that the well
would have to be sunk much deeper
than the other wells on account of be-
ing on SO much higher ground. On
the contrary it has been found that all
the strata are much nearer the surface
than in either of the old wells, and the
first of the week strong vein of gas
was struck at a depth of only 100 feet,
at least 100 feet nearer the surface than
it has ever been found here before.
This is most encouraging, for it indi.
Gates that the we'll now being bored
will be the the best yet found. The
hole is full of water yet the gas escapes
in large quantities, and burns steadily
with clear hot fame. Indeed the
combustion is much more perfect than
at either of the other wells, showing
that the gas is of better quantity. At
the place where gas was found there
seemed to be a crevice in the rock
which slanted in such way that the
drill. would not take hold but
slid into it and stuck. The Company
have been obliged therefore to suspend
operations until they can got reamer
Work will be resumed as SOON as this
arrives and prosecuted as rapidly as
possible. We do not want to arouse
hopes that may not be realized, but
we believe that every man who has
visited the new well is convinced in
his own mind that when sunk to the
proper depth it will furnish fuel enough
to run all the machinery that the
Carriage Works will hold. The dullest
must know what that means for lola.

Four Ont Of Twelve Hundred.

Gov. Rusk was in Milwaukee, and a
Sentinel reporter found out what was
preying upon bis mind, and what it was
that made him seek rest and recreation
at his home in Viroquaa He has before
him d tas- beside which approving and
vetoing bills is mere chiId'sS play The
difficult job is described as follows +.
The Legislature, at its recent ses-
sion, passed a bill requiring the COVER
nor to appoint four game wardens who
are to have supervision over the game
of the State, and see that thelaws for
its protection are enforced. For this
,pur pose The State is divided into four
districts. each of which includes hun
dreds of squsre miles. The game war
den is to take care that no trout is
hooked, no bass or pickerel Melted, no
deer, duck, or prairie chicken shot ex-
cept in the due season. If any infrac-
ton of the game laws occurs, he is to
see that the offenders are punished. 1t
is clear that the game warden will need
to be busy man, and that he ought to
possess the quality of ubiquity. For
his arduous services the State will pay
him the magnificent salary of $3.50
year. -
Whether it is on account of the size
of the salary, or the attractive nature of
the duties of the Office, we do not know,
but ii is fact that there was never such
a wild rush for any state Office before
as has taken place in regard to the game
wardenships. The governor has al
ready received applications from over
1920 persons who wish to be appointed
to one OF these places, and more are
coming in every day. Those who wish
to be candidates but have not vet sent
in their applications aud testimonials
should do SO without delay. since the
governor intends to take up the matter
during the coming week, and 90 through
the papers on file relating to the sub
ject, preparatory to making a selection.
1t he does not succeed in choosing four
nearly ideal game wardens it will not
be in consequence of having a very
limited number of persons TO choose
from. AT the same time it would be
web for the candidates not to be too
sanguine of success. Some of them, it
is evident, must be appointed.
